A Brilliant + Much Need Course For Teachers
Words Matter
(No current date set. See Writing For Resilience Workshop)
Being a better writer is not just for writers. It’s for anyone who communicates. The better you write, the better you speak, teach, run your business, invite people to work with you. Writing well requires thoughtfulness and clarity and so does life.
Give your brain a rest from technique and repertoire and allow yourself to focus on one of the other most critical skills required of you as a teacher and business person. Words.
In this 2-month online — casual and yet powerful course — (that you’ll have access to forever), learn how to improve your sense of words, how to choose more meaningful words, and how to use them in written and spoken form more readily and with more skill.
- Enhance your ability to write succinctly and passionately about what you do
- Improve your verbal cueing to promote better understanding, more curiosity, and longer lasting results
- Engage in practices and tools that you can apply to your business and teaching right now!

A big take-away for me was learning that people buy who you are, not what you do. I learned that my web site said more about the what than the who. This course gave me the insights and tools to change that. Prospective clients can now learn about my motivation and commitment and what it’s like to work with me.
